About this work

This painting shows a tall, shadowy figure with a hat, standing stiffly against a plain background. The body is drawn in jagged lines, with sharp angles and uneven shapes. Dark colors dominate, but some areas—like the hat and collar—stand out in lighter tones. The figure’s face is barely there, just a few quick marks. The artist used cut paper, tape, and crayon to build up the image, layering it like a collage. Next, look up Jay DeFeo to see how she worked across her career.
